Stuffed Turkey & Quinoa Peppers

Last night I decided to make stuffed peppers. I always forget about them and they are so easy and non expensive to make. So I stopped by the grocery store on the way home from work to pick up all the yummy things I would need to stuff my peppers. This go round I decided to make them nice and simple.
 
What you will need
quinoa
red peppers
ground turkey
low sugar marinara
reduced fat mozz cheese
garlic salt
Italian seasoning

 
Start by cooking your ground turkey then drain.
Then add your sauce, cooked quinoa and seasonings. Let cook for about 15 mins.


While your sauce is cooking, cut the tops out of your red peppers and scoop out the seeds.
 

 
Once your sauce is mixed well, fill your red pepper.

 
Let cook on 350' for about 10 to 15 mins.

 
Then add your reduced fat mozz cheese to the top.
Let cook for another 10 to 15 mins.

 
Once your pepper is soft and your cheese is melted, let cool.
Then enjoy!
This was such a filling dinner. I will definitely be making these more often.
